Method

  1. Set the oven to gas mark 7 or 220°C. Cut unpeeled potatoes into wedges and put in a roasting tin. Add 3tsp oil and stir to coat potato. Roast for 40-50 mins, turning after 30 mins.
  2. Mix the turkey mince with the spring onion, garlic, if using, thyme and seasoning. Shape into 4 burgers 10-11cm (4-4½in) in diameter; use a cutter as a guide. Chill for 30 mins, if possible.
  3. Heat a griddle pan. Rub the rest of the oil onto both sides of each burger, then griddle them, in 2 batches, for 3-4 mins each side. Serve with the salad, tomatoes, potato wedges and coleslaw. (Not suitable for freezing).
